You won’t have seen her behind the till over the last year but we know many of you would like to join us in wishing Pam Kearley happiness in her new home when she and Barry move house this month after 23
years in Luton. Pam has been a stalwart supporter of the shop from the start and volunteered week in week out on a Saturday morning for years often working with teenagers doing their D of E awards. Her warm and friendly nature was a huge support to them and a joy for all our customers. Thank you Pam from us all!
We have recently had some more new local products in the shop. The beautiful Spring flowers from Colestocks Flower Farm have proved very popular and we will continue to have fresh deliveries every week through the summer. If you would like a larger bunch for a special occasion please come and talk to us.
One of the few things that is still truly seasonal is English asparagus and Dart Fresh, our local fruit and veg merchant, tell us that it will soon be available. We are likely to have some for sale in the shop but if you would like to make a special order for this or any other vegetable or fruit just give us a ring on 841856. We are always happy to see if we can help.
Last year we entered the Countryside Alliance competition for the best village shop. We were delighted to learn we were one of four South-West finalists but then of course everything ground 
to a halt because of Covid. Judging has now resumed with a Zoom interview with David and Tim and despite very strong competition from the other finalists we’re keeping our fingers crossed for the results.
With summer nearly here we have been busy stocking up our freezers with a new range of ice-creams, and we have burgers, steaks and sausages ready for your barbecues. Let’s all hope for a lovely, sunny summer here in beautiful Devon
